Hey guys, I’m working on a new page right now, and I should be posting it tonight. Just wanted to quickly go over another project I’m working on, Filthy Figments’ Food Porn Anthology. Because there’s only 5 days left on the Kickstarter!

I know that this site (Lavender Legend) is for general audiences, so maybe the bulk of you have no interest in erotic comics at all, and that’s okay. But if you do, please check it out!

It will be great if this project gets funded, and even better if we can reach a stretch goal, because that provides me with additional paying work that I can use to transition from working full-time to surviving as a professional artist again. I really want to go back to updating Lavender Legend at least weekly with complete pages, as well as bringing back other comics like Traveler’s Joy and Emerald Winter. Projects like this that pay me well for my time (as opposed to me making low wages in retail hell) are a step closer to that goal.

So, support this project, and support me! Plus all the other cool artists you’ll be supporting, and their art careers as well. We have a number of webcomic artists involved, including Gina Biggs (Red String, Love Not Found), Crystal Jayme (Technicolor London), Molly Ostertag (Strong female Protagonist), and Kickingshoes (Wishbones).

I thought I should take the holiday placeholder down since it claimed I would be back in January, and it’s currently Feb.2. I’m still planning to be back ASAP, but I can’t determine when that’s going to be. I feel like I am promising you guys stuff and not being able to deliver on it. So, regardless of if I can really control the situation or not, I’m going to just have to say I don’t really know when I will be back, as lame as that sounds.

The reason is mostly because my job has given me way more hours lately than usual. I thought after the holidays it would be less, but that didn’t turn out to be the case. It’s definitely frustrating because I’d rather be here than there. I think everybody would rather be working on something they actually enjoy, instead of being at a stressful, physically exhausting job like this. But that is the reality of my financial situation, especially since InkBlazers closed down recently. Unless I find another job that pays as much, I can’t really leave this one.

I guess the bright side of it all is that the more I work, the closer I am to paying off all my debts from college, medical, dental expenses, etc. Once I don’t have to pay those bills anymore and I can just worry about the basic rent and food kind of stuff, then it’ll be a lot more realistic for me to be an artist/website person.

Anyway, thank you very much for checking in, sorry again about the wait, and I’ll get new pages out as soon as I can.

I just wanted to let everyone know what was going on with me, because I know when the comic misses updates people get worried about whether I’m okay.

I am working on the comic today, and if I’m able to finish it, I’ll post it on time tonight. If not then I’ll be saving it until next Monday, because I have to work the rest of this week.

I had a tooth pulled on last Wednesday. I’ve been trying to save up enough money to get some dental work done for a while now, but suddenly I was in a lot of pain, so I went in. They told me they wouldn’t be able to save the tooth with a root canal anymore, and had to extract it. So I lost a back molar and it was really painful. I’ve been on medication for the pain so I’m not feeling much, but it makes my head all mushy and I have trouble concentrating.

I’m also sick with a pretty terrible cold, and cold medicine doesn’t help the brain-fuzziness either. Just a big cocktail of loopy pills.

That’s why I’m not entirely certain I can make my usual Monday deadline, and I just wanted to tell you guys about it beforehand.
